A 64-year-old grand­moth­er, her com­mon-law-hus­band, 60, and two of her grand­chil­dren—ages 24 and 20, were ar­rest­ed by po­lice of­fi­cers for co­caine traf­fick­ing in Aran­juez on Fri­day.

For the woman, this is the sec­ond ar­rest in 15 years, on drug-re­lat­ed of­fences.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice sources, act­ing on in­tel­li­gence re­ceived a team of po­lice of­fi­cers dur­ing a spe­cial op­er­a­tion swooped down on a house and a par­lour owned by the grand­moth­er at #20 Fred­dy Street where they con­duct­ed an ex­ten­sive search and found an undis­closed amount of co­caine. Po­lice re­ceived cred­i­ble in­for­ma­tion that the drugs found were for traf­fick­ing pur­pos­es.

Guardian Me­dia was told that sur­veil­lance of the house and par­lour ac­tiv­i­ties has been on­go­ing over the years with sev­er­al raids be­ing car­ried out in­ter­mit­tent­ly.

The fam­i­ly of four is cur­rent­ly de­tained for ques­tion­ing and is as­sist­ing in the in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
